When a liquid is heated, it eventually reaches a temperature at which the vapor pressure is large enough that bubbles form inside the body of the liquid. This temperature is called the boiling point. Once the liquid starts to boil, the temperature remains constant until all of the liquid has been converted to a gas.
The normal boiling point of water is 100oC. But if you try to cook an egg in boiling water while camping in the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 10,000 feet, you will find that it takes longer for the egg to cook because water boils at only 90oC at this elevation.
Boiling point means that the liquid is at the point where it will begin to boil.

What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
Is the boiling point of steam distillation involving two immiscible components always less than 100?
Yes it is. From the definition of steam distillation we can know that the components of the distillation are immiscible and one of the components is water. Since water's boiling point is 100'C, boiling point of the mixture must be less than that.
In degrees Celsius the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius
Is the boiling point of one liter of water different from the boiling of 2 liters of water?
No, boiling point is not affected by volume. What will change is the amount of energy you need to put in to get it to boiling point.
Does salt lower the boiling point?
Yes, Salt also lowers the freezing point of water, and lowers the boiling point of water. Add salt to a boiling pot of water and it immediately boils faster/harder at the location that the Salt hit the water.
What is the biology definition of cohesion?
It is the water bond with hydrogen. It give the water the property of high boiling point

What is the scientific definition for term normal boiling point?
At the boiling point a liquid is changed to a gas.
What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
What is boiling point of water called?

What is the effect of NaCl and CaCl2 on the boiling point of water?
The water with solved ions has greater boiling point. The dissolved salts increase the boiling point of water.
What it the scientific definition normal boiling point?
The Boiling Point is the point at which a substance at liquid state boils. The temperature that the liquid has to reach to be at Boiling Point (B.P) ranges, it is different for each liquid. The B.P for water is 100 degrees Celsius.
Why boiling point of water is not fixed?
The boiling point of water is fixed but boiling points depends on the atmospheric pressure.
What is boiling point in degrees for water?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
Does water have a high boiling point?
Water has a boiling point of 100 degrees celcius. This is about average compared to the boiling point of other substances.
Is the boiling point of steam distillation involving two immiscible components always less than 100?
Yes it is. From the definition of steam distillation we can know that the components of the distillation are immiscible and one of the components is water. Since water's boiling point is 100'C, boiling point of the mixture must be less than that.
Why can't and alcohol thermometer be used to measure the boiling point of water?
Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than the boiling point of water.
